Well, the police came and deleted our previous conversation. It referenced a 200 for sale somewhere, and that is not allowed. I thought there was value, however, in the ensuing conversation about the difference between the two vehicles. At a minimum, I owed someone a response to some detailed comparison questions. I offered to address those when I have had more time with the LX. I will use this thread to do that in the future.

I am about to do the same (have a deposit in a 2-row 700OT) and would be very much interested in hearing your thoughts. I currently drive a 2020HE. This profile picture really highlights the similarities in design in the two generations - which is a good thing.

I own a 2013 200, a 2014 200 (built up as off roader) and just traded this 2019 200 which was kept stock. The LX on road feels like a Porsche compared to the 200. It is so fast. It also has so much tech that it almost drives the car for you. Even if cruise control is off, it slows down when the car in front of you slows down. It keeps you in the lane. It also yells at you if you are not looking forward. It is definitely an adjustment from the 200 which had none of this tech. So far, I miss the tailgate (I have no idea why they got rid of that), and I miss feeling like I am driving a tank, but for most people that enhanced driveability will probably be a positive. I can't wait to really use it's off road capabilities, and triple lockers, but that is probably five to ten years away.
 
Might be the most annoying feature I've ever heard of lol

I've been considering a 300 for my wife's daily. The tailgate is such a huge miss. Obviously the accountants won, but I would be willing to pay extra for it.
The yelling if you are not looking ahead might take the trophy on this for me. What feature is this that slows down even with cruise off? Collision mitigation? Can you turn it off?
 
I saw this thread title and thought I'd come in here to congratulate you on the upgrade, but then... then I saw the photo. :ninja:

Hope it works for you!

I love this functionality. It makes rear ending someone very hard to do.

The yelling at me wins Most Annoying. I don't know what they call the slowing down for the car in front of me function, but that one is great. If you don't like it, you can turn it off.
 
What does that mean? I bought the wrong LX?
Nah. You bought the wrong LX for me. But you probably bought the right LX for you.

Everyone's got different wants/needs/priorities. Enjoy the new ride!
